SSA A Sinking Ship For Job Outlook - Legal Assistant Social Security Administration Employee Review

Suggestions for ways to improve office & procedures are ignored. Promotion potential hits a ceiling unless the individual is willing to move across the country. Knowledge & information is kept at management level and filtered down as seen appropriate by managers. In many instances the individual must protect themselves from the threat of senior officials attempting to soil employees reputation. Unrealistic goals making fewer employees maintain high output performing multiple employees jobs "as management sees fit." Thousands of hours in overtime, yet it is handed out sparingly on a case by case basis. Multitude of LAZY employees looking to retire that because of managment's lack of discipline other individuals have to carry the workload; i.e. the producing employees are rewarded with MORE work while the non-producing employees are rewarded with less work and less responsibility in a 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil' give up attitude Policy.
